In Torch Song, I did that character almost non-stop from 1978 until I made the movie in 1987. Then I had some failure, which also colors how you react to doing other things.

More quotes by Harvey Fierstein
It's through sheer will that I can sing.
Harvey Fierstein
In London they don't like you if you're still alive.
Harvey Fierstein
It's a wonderful world. You can't go backwards. You're always moving forward. It's the wonderful part about life. And that's terrific.
Harvey Fierstein
Nothing binds a people to their leader like a common enemy. Voters don’t change governments during war.
Harvey Fierstein
Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise.
Harvey Fierstein
Well, I always looked at Mulan as a movie about a lesbian coming out.
Harvey Fierstein
A thing of beauty is a joy till sunrise.
Harvey Fierstein
Is a gay play a play that has sex with other plays?
Harvey Fierstein
I'm sure there's going to be some material from This Is Not Going To Be Pretty. I usually use that song to just introduce myself to the audience, although the patter in between the song is always different.
Harvey Fierstein
Change your mind as often as possible. Just because you thought something yesterday doesn't mean you have to think it today. Don't ever become a prisoner of your own opinion
Harvey Fierstein
Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it's story heavy, it's about ideas.
Harvey Fierstein
But actually just yesterday we raised the key of one of my songs two steps up, so my voice is obviously responding. It's a muscle, and the more you use it, the more you use it right, the more you should get out of it. So yes, I sing.
Harvey Fierstein
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.
Harvey Fierstein
Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.
Harvey Fierstein
State sanctioned marriage is a civil contract period. A contract is not a judgment of moral value. It is a legal agreement between two parties that testifies to a meeting of minds between those consenting entities. It is not a religious act or rite and so has nothing to do with Adam and Eve or Steve or even Harvey.
Harvey Fierstein
I often say that if you want to really want to understand the contract of marriage just ask anyone who has been divorced. The marriage contract is one of property rights. Or maybe you can look in the bible to see what Adam had to say about divorce since Eve was his second wife.
Harvey Fierstein
What looks absolutely fabulous in rehearsal can fall flat in front of an audience. The audience dictates what you do or don't change.
Harvey Fierstein
I actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God.
Harvey Fierstein
In no way be bullied into silence. Hardly ever permit on your own to become made a sufferer. Acknowledge no one's definition of one's lifetime define oneself
Harvey Fierstein
A child's kiss is magic. Why else would they be so stingy with them?
Harvey Fierstein
